Gourmet skill

[Invicti]

is the gourmet skill worth it? 20 min of regen even during combat seems quite nice but I don't hear of anyone using it

[dantès]

for many, its just not worth losing a skill slot over it. its all about priorities, and this skill is mediocre at best.

[レクサー]

very useful till Velen. After that, no.

[FireMage]

I used it untill i got the troll decoct. Playing on the highest difficulty level it helped alot. Ill refund rhe point in to something else later in the game.

Used it all the time, but I played on "death march", for me it was very useful. It depends. If you start your game on standard difficulty you would be absolutely fine without that skill. Anything above that — use it.

Even worse, dantès, even worse. Superfluous as a goiter.

To be honest: it's one more reason to worry about the level of future video games. Apparently, the devs assumed that a significant portion of the buyers might be incapable of any kind of micromanagement - or would find it too onerous. After all, there is already enough food in White Orchard, and after a short time it will be possible for any serious player to brew healing potions.

Well, so they included this homemade cheat. In the end, every shopper who is able to carry their deposit to the till without dropping it is one more shopper. And you also have to think of the shareholders, I fear.

It's a bargain, and suggested in some intro guides.

[Astorix1]

it provides an additional source of income because you can sell all the food you dont need to eat now

On Death March it broke the game for me and trivialized the combat to such a degree that the entire game was a total cakewalk.

Give how easy it is to back up and get some space, if you are basically regenerating all the time thanks to gourmet, yeah it will be easy.

at level 100 the health regen is less significant relative to your max health but I see what u mean

hmm but troll Decoc has only like 20hp recovery in combat. meanwhile food gives you 80

Superior swallow also gives you 80 in combat but wears off after just a few seconds. gourmet gets you 20 minutes

Gourmet skill to me is purely a QoL perk, basically it is a permanent regeneration potion. It doesn't make you any stronger in combat, and food is plentiful (and not really worth selling). But what it does is makes it so that you don't have to worry about monitoring to see if your food regen has worn off in battle and possibly get your fingers tangled up pressing another key.

Its worthless. There is no lack of food in this game. If you're seriously using a skill slot for this, I have to question your mental capacity.

That hurts man. I just like regen.

I can understand a new player early in the game may find this useful when you don't yet know how much food and money you'll soon find yourself with and not much worth spending it on.

Very worth it if you're playing on Death March. Otherwise it's probably a waste of a slot.
